This pretty little island in the center of the lake holds ponds, pavilions and pagodas, which are shown on the back of the new green notes. The man-made island encircles a central lake, which is divided into four ponds by bridges. The three stone pagodas were first built in the 17th century and are lit up by candles for the autumn full moon. The small holes in the pagoda allow this light to shine out onto the lake and mingle with the moonlight, creating the Three Pools Reflecting the Moon and the island’s name. To get to the island take a boat from Solitary Hill Island, Hubin Park or the southern end of Yanggong Causeway.
